Plants Delivered Chicago is Chicago’s local online plant shop. Order online, and have plants tall and small hand delivered to your door by Andy and his trusty sidekicks, Gerald (Blue heeler) and Jojo (some kind of red dog). Founded in December of 2019, PDC began as a side project that Gerald and Andy embarked on in their old blue ford pickup truck when they clocked out of their corporate gig. A fun hobby and side hustle, it was a nice change of pace from the monotony and lack of purpose they felt from working their 9-5 role. By April of 2020, Andy and Gerald clocked out for the last time, slammed their laptop shut and never went back to the corporate grind ever again.

We have always strived to be more than just another online plant shop, which is why in the past, we have partnered up with organizations like The Greater Chicago Food Depository to use our plant sales to raise money to create meals in the fight against food insecurity and hunger that plagues communities all around us.

Since PDC’s founder (Andy Robledo) created “Feeding People Through Plants” in March of 2020, PDC, along with a collective of local plant businesses, were able to raise over 100,000 meals for the Greater Chicago Food Depository by donating a portion of their plant sales to the mission.

Come 2021, the mission evolved to direct action, where our founder, Andy Robledo, began doing outreach at unhoused encampments to bring food and key survival supplies to people in need. This is where the Orange Tent Project was born. Now a full fledged 501c3, this wonderful organization meets people where they’re at by supporting our unhoused neighbors with anything they need to survive while living on the streets. From life saving emergency shelter (Google orange tents Chicago) to key survival supplies and food, the orange tent project single handedly saved lives and kept people warm on a shoe string budget. PDC’s mission and path have evolved as the years have gone on, and it has been a wonderful journey to share with the incredible people of Chicago.

It’s a dream to have built a business that has done so much more than just sell plants over the years. I get to ride around with my dogs all day, deliver plants, work with incredible clients, and hopefully be able to continue doing work that is about more than being just another plant shop.

We believe that no matter who you are, no matter what neighborhood you’re in, that everyone gets a plant. That’s why delivery is free across all of Chicago.

From plant newbie to plant pro, we are here to help! 

Thanks for checking us out and we are excited to share our love for plants with the city we love!
